And all this is in the name of the people, the nation or for development. What today is being portrayed In the mainstream media as India's 'superpower' status, or a big leap in the Indo-U.S. relalons, is nothing but the complete capitulation of the Indian ruling classes in front of its most important imperial master, the U.S. The unequal and unfair clauses and conditions of the Indo-U.S. nuke deal makes a mockery of the country's 'independent foreign policy' (it is doubtful whether such a thing ever existed); the comprador and parasitic nature of the parliamentary parties is fordestruct1on of the people of the country, t"leir resources.

Which environmental issues will dominate headlines this year? A panel of veteran journalists offered their thoughts on what will be the biggest environment and energy stories in the U.S. and around the world at the Wilson Center, Friday, January 24, during an event co-sponsored by the Society of Environmental Journalists. Bloomberg BNA’s Larry Pearl delivered a keynote address on the key legislative, regulatory, and legal developments expected in 2014, followed by a roundtable with six journalists from The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, The Daily Climate, and Chemical and Engineering News.

Street art and mainly Banksy's Stencil style art influenced this piece. The whole point of the Issue based project is to raise awareness and people often relate to this style of art well as its bold yet simple. I chose to add more detail into the piece than most stencils show as it really made the person stand out and brought the issue alive.

Vogue launches one of the most anticipated issue in fashion culture; the September Issue. The issue that claims it rule over: fall fashions, stylish steals, and of course beauty secrets. In my own anticipation for this issue I attempted a fall preview. Giving a personal view to the definition of fashion.
Fashion, clothing and trends, largely depend on one's personal expression and penchant for style. So, fashion and style should reflect one's own persona and worth. Less about the prediction of the current fashion trends and the irrespective of suitability. We should stand out from a crowd with a distinctive style that coins our personal value in aesthetics, functionality, as well as pride.
Please enjoy my SEPTEMBER ISSUE.
